IF LGS' are going to cry about this, and I am sure they will, then they better cry about all the content
WOTC gives away for a pretty small sum every month, of their leading sellers, presumably. Then they should complain about
WOTC undercutting them by selling through places like Amazon. Complaints about things that really hurt their survival.
If they are going to cry about PDF's, a sales revenue that
WOTC and Goodman both say is so small as to barely be worth paying any attention too, then they are crying about something that doesn't effect them at all, or might possibly cost them a sale or two.
Considering how Goodman described things the PDF deal Paizo is offering might lose 1 out of 100 stores a single sale. Lousy salesmanship costs them far more sales. So maybe they should put their energy towards fixing that, rather than complain about something that all evidence says is highly unlikely to cost them a single sale.
